Hoarding & Clutter Cleanup in South Florida
Compassionate hoarding and clutter cleanup with biohazard remediation and contents removal.
Specialized Cleanup
Hoarding cleanup is part logistics, part biohazard work. Walkways blocked by clutter create fire code violations; layers underneath often hide rodent waste, sewage, and mold.
Families and property managers choose IPS HazMat because we sort with respect, haul volume legally, and remediate contamination, not just empty the room into a dumpster.

When to call for hoarding & clutter cleanup
- Walkways are blocked and the fire department or code enforcement has flagged the unit
- Rodent droppings, sewage backup, or mold is mixed with clutter
- A family member is ready for help but needs a respectful, paced sort-and-clear process
- An estate or landlord needs the property turned for sale or re-rental
Why hire a professional crew
Hoarded homes often hide broken plumbing, hidden mold, and sharp objects under piles.
Sorting requires judgment. We separate true trash from documents, heirlooms, and valuables with your input.
Dumpster volume and municipal bulk pickup rules in Broward and Miami-Dade are easier to manage with a licensed hauler on site.

We can provide itemized documentation, photos, and disposal records your adjuster or risk manager can review. Call before you start demolition so we can scope the loss correctly.
Hoarding and clutter remediation is performed using generally accepted industry practices, with reference to applicable IICRC standards (including S500, S520, and S900) where relevant. Scope is assessed on site. Conditions exceeding initial assessment may require expanded remediation with client approval. Insurance and financing options are available.

Common questions about hoarding & clutter cleanup
- How fast can IPS HazMat respond for hoarding & clutter cleanup?
- We answer 24/7. Most South Florida calls receive a same-day site visit. Larger commercial losses may require a brief phone assessment first so we bring the right crew size and equipment.
- Do you work with insurance companies?
- Yes. We document the scene, list removed materials, and note disposal methods. We do not adjust claims on your behalf, but we give adjusters the technical detail they expect from a licensed remediation vendor.
- Will neighbors or employees see marked trucks?
- We keep a low profile when you ask for it, especially at hotels, apartments, and law enforcement facilities. Discretion is standard, not an upgrade.
- What certifications does your crew carry?
- Technicians train to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, use HAZWOPER protocols where required, and follow IICRC guidance on water and mold jobs. CJIS Security Awareness Training and background clearance support work at criminal justice facilities. We hold Florida generator license #7888 and transporter WT-24-0104 for regulated waste.
